Upcoming Events

Next 6th of May will be able to attend to an interesting conference that is part of the Conferences Cycle "Les grans conjetures matemàtiques" carried out by CosmoCaixa.
Dr. Avi Wigderson, from the Institute of Advanced Studies de Princeton (USA) will talk about the problem "P versus NP".

The problem "P versus NP" is a mathematical and computational precise problem, especially attractive for its philosophical connotations and the impact that would cause its resolution. If P is equal to NP it will be possible to solve many mathematic and scientific challenges that humans have set out. On the other hand, if P is not equal to NP we can get an unconditional security in electronic interactions.

This is one of the six conferences that CosmoCaixa gives us this year in commemoration of 2000, the Mathematics Worldwide Year. Clay Institute gave seven prizes of one million dollars each to solve seven big mathematics conjectures known as The Milenium Problems, in 2000. During this cycle, the outstanding experts and communicators from all over the world will talk about: Music and prime numbers, the 3x+1 conjecture and mathematic limits, mathematics around Eolo and Neptuno: Navier-Stokes equations, fractal geometry from Mandelbrot group, "P versus NP" problem and knowledge limits and Poincare conjecture and geometry.
